Chapter 50: An Unprecedented Elimination of Numbers
Lu Yu?!
It was only at this time that Chen Juncheng, Li Lupeng and Zhao Quanqi raised their heads at the same time!
The person who wrote this pagoda poem that even Qi Lao was moved by turned out to be Lu Yu?!
At this moment, Qi Lao suddenly laughed: "It is definitely a rare talent to be able to make such a good poem on the spot in just a few minutes!
Qi Lao is a famous person in the Chinese poetry circle today, and the rest of the people naturally have nothing to say when he opens his mouth.
Moreover, Lu Yu's "pagoda poem" is indeed amazing, and it meets all the requirements of the exam questions.
The other six judges also expressed their positions and voted for Lu Yu.
Seeing that there was no suspense about Lu Yu passing the evaluation of "On Tea", Chen Juncheng smiled slightly and voted for Lu Yu.
Li Lupeng pondered for a moment, shook his head and cast his vote.
With nine votes passed, even if Zhao Quanqi is unhappy, it will be useless.
In order to redeem the embarrassment that he didn't recognize the pagoda poem just now, he had to vote for Lu Yu.
It's just that while casting this vote, Zhao Quanqi secretly made up his mind that he would definitely not let Lu Yu, this kid, pass in the next stage!
……
At this time, Lu Yu, who had finished answering the question early, was leisurely hiding in the bathroom on the first floor, spitting clouds and mist.
Now he doesn't dare to go out rashly, those reporters outside are waiting with great eyesight!
But he didn't want to sit in the exam room bored like other test takers.
Indeed, this topic is boring for Lu Yu.
Tea poems abound in the original world of China.
Since the beginning of tea, which generation of great poets in thousands of years of Chinese civilization has not been endowed with tea?!
After reading the topic of Tea, he immediately thought of this pagoda poem by Yuan Zhen, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty in the original world.
If the poems of this great poet who is called "Yuan Bai" with Bai Juyi cannot pass the evaluation, then Lu Yu will have no way to sit for half a year.
It's just that this thing doesn't know.
When Qi Lao and others read this pagoda poem, almost all the poems made by others on the spot became "dross".
Qi Lao took the answer sheets of the rest of the participants, shook his head for a while, and sighed for a while.
In the end, the old man was so angry that he didn't even bother to look at it, and walked directly to the side to make a pot of tea, shaking his head with Lu Yu's pagoda poem......
"Tea, bay leaves, green shoots...... Haha, good poetry!
"Well! Especially this sentence 'washing away the ancient and modern people are tireless', the real stroke of God! wonderful! wonderful!"
……
Among all the judges, Qi Lao was the most qualified, and the rest of the judges didn't dare to disturb him at all, so they could only stare at him with a relatively wry smile.
Fortunately, Qi Lao no longer participates in the review, otherwise there will probably be no more than ten of the more than 2,000 candidates who can pass the "Tea Discussion" assessment!
However, even so, the number of people who passed the "Tea Discussion" assessment has decreased a lot compared to the past.
In the end, more than 2,000 people remained, and only more than 100 people entered the second round of "making tea" evaluation.
This pass rate is enough to be described as "tragic".
……
It wasn't until after the tea evaluation was over that Lu Yu came out of the bathroom.
For the sake of the consistency of the evaluation, those who pass the first round of evaluation are generally not allowed to leave the venue, and only those who are notified of the elimination can leave.
Seeing a large group of people walking out of the venue with their heads down, Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned.
What's going on? So many eliminations in the first round?!
"Lu Yu! I finally found you, and I know that you can't be eliminated!"
Lu Yu turned his head and saw Zhang Yuan coming over with a spring breeze on his face, it seemed that he should have passed the level of tea.
Lu Yu smiled: "It seems that you have also passed, congratulations!"
Zhang Yuan said proudly: "Of course, no matter how you say it, my buddy is a little accomplished in ancient style poetry!"
"By the way, I heard that there was a funny buddy who turned in the paper just after the question came out, do you know who it is?"
"Uh......"
Lu Yu touched his nose, is this "funny buddy" talking about me?
Seeing this, Zhang Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter if you know it or not, it is estimated that as soon as you see the topic, you will know that you are not playing, so you will simply give up." ”
"Hehe, probably......"
Lu Yugan laughed dryly, and changed the topic: "How many people were eliminated in the first round?"
Zhang Yuan pointed to the crowd walking outside the stadium and said, "Don't you know it yourself?" A conservative estimate is more than 2,000!"
Saying that, he also shook his head and said, "The key is that today's topic is too tricky, everyone is preparing information about tea, who would have thought that they would have to compose poems!"
"Forget it, let's not talk about this! Since we both passed, let's go to dinner first, there are two more in the afternoon!"
In the venue, the evaluator set aside two large event rooms as temporary restaurants.
It's just that because there are too many people eliminated, only one room is open now.
And there were not many people eating in the cafeteria, only about forty or fifty people chatting while eating, discussing the other two questions of the afternoon.
Lu Yu deliberately took a closer look, but he didn't see any acquaintances.
Zheng Keke and Xiao Chen are not here?!
Zhang Yuan served a large plate of food and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Xiao Chen?"
Lu Yu lowered his head and nodded casually: "Hmm...... He's not going to be eliminated, right?"
"Poof!elimination?how is that possible?!"
Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Xiao Chen is a person with a background, and it is said that he was known as a talented man before worshipping Master Chen as a teacher, and he has published a lot of poems on the Tea People Forum!"
"It's just that people like Xiao Chen definitely won't come here to eat!"
"Oh? Why?"
"In addition to the different identity, and he is a disciple of the master, and our goal is different!"
Seeing that Lu Yu was puzzled, Zhang Yuan simply swallowed the food in his mouth, drank a sip of water and said, "People's goal is to be the champion!"
"The next thing to do is to make tea and taste tea, tea is a test of mentality, and tea tasting is a test of taste and discernment. ”
"People like Xiao Chen who vowed to win the championship must be adjusting their mentality now, and keep their mouths clean to bring out the best in their taste!"
Lu Yu nodded suddenly: "So they don't eat at noon?"
"Of course you can't eat it, and even if you do, you can only eat the light food you brought. ”
"Then why do you still eat it, not afraid of affecting the palate?"
Zhang Yuan scratched his head and smiled: "I can't win the championship again, and I have tried, there is almost no difference between eating and not eating for me." ”
"Besides......" Zhang Yuan clicked his lips and said, "The food cooked here is so delicious, if you don't eat it, you will suffer a loss." ”
Lu Yu: "......"
